Canisius Golden Griffins at Binghamton Bearcats

November 30, 2010 7:00 pm
Mid-Majority Events Center
BBState Stats/Recap

I want to just talk to the Binghamton people for a second. Just the Binghamton people. OK, does 30 percent of the student population have red hair? Seriously, what's the deal?

@midmajority Game Tweets


18:59 Game 7-017: Canisius at Binghamton. Binghamton, Binghamton, Binghamton, Binghamton.
19:00 Seriously. Save some Title R compliance for the other schools. What is wrong with you?
19:02 We are live at The Mid-Majority Events Center. Longtime readers know we put in a claim for naming rights in 2005. http://img.ly/2xkJ
19:02 RT @sgreen3: @midmajority I expect lots of tweets about the pep band... I miss my Screamin' Green :( #binggraduateindenial
19:03 The national anthem was sung by the Binghamtonics, the oldest spirit choir in school history. Find me a better spirit choir name.
19:05 We are underway. Binghamton is an America East team, of course, and Canisius represents the MAAAAAC.
19:07 Canisius out to an early 6-2 lead at 16:03 1H. Elton Frazier, the G'Griffins senior swing, has two bucketz.
19:08 I'm sitting next to the stat phone, and the kid manning it seems to be surprised at how much it rings. #allnightbaby
19:10 This is Bally's first game at the TMMEC. He likes it! http://img.ly/2xkN
19:10 RT @Smoore1117: Prepping for upset of the year as @BUAthletics takes on Kentucky at Rupp. Someone alert @midmajority - I guarantee a RLU.
19:10 RT @DadofTwins02: @midmajority All about the Stendhal.
19:12 Lonely banner. http://img.ly/2xkQ
19:13 No. 1 for BING, Moussa Camara, has a face mask & a mohawk, which is awesome & I wish he'd done something cool but he went back to the bench.
19:14 Scorechecka: Binghamton 7, Canisius 6 at the 13:44 mark. iOS 4.2 spellchecka wants "Canisius" to be "Cannoli" but it refuses.
19:15 RT @jtanHC: It's #pixelvision time! Princeton/Lafayette in a #brainexplosionseries game, credit @midmajority for the awesome series name.
19:19 Lot of memories in this gym. "Free Wolfie." And the time J.J. Jumper got decapitated. And the time the Stony Brook mascot got thrown out.
19:20 Wait, those were all the same thing. Screamin Green entertains during MTO#2. "That's The Way I Like It." Dude pounding the skins is serious!
19:22 I would, but I just had the best hotel-restaurant sashimi I've ever eaten. RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: Eat at Cortese's afterward.
19:24 Greg Logins hit a #superhoop for Canisius, then ran down floor pumping his fist wildly. What did you win, son? A 13-10 lead. End of 1Q.
19:25 I'd pay good money to watch Tom Parrotta coach. He's one Big Suit away from being David Byrne in "Stop Making Sense."
19:30 Lite nite on #pixelvision, but that's your cue to Focus. Brain Explosion Series now, Alabama State-Tulane and Oral Roberts-Texas Tech later.
19:33 Here, it's 17-10 at 5:45 1H. We're sitting next to the writers from the Pipe Dream, which is the student paper and not the literary journal.
19:33 RT @ToddF76: @midmajority Another one-month of hoagies winner @ Penn-UMBC. The attempt for a year was just short. Front rim.
19:36 Robert Goldsberry with a #superhoop for Canisius, and up go the G'Griffs. 23-12, as "Cotton Eye Joe" plays unironically during a time out.
19:36 @DRUMMER768 IF YOU CAN HEAR ME YOU'RE AWESOME RT @sgreen3: RT @midmajority Dude pounding the skins is serious! //That's @drummer768!”
19:38 Actually, I'm very sure that's not him. But I wanted to go full caps for a sec.
19:41 Bingo: horrible offense all year, scored 39 at Drexel Sat. Reason? They just dribble around for 35 secs, nobody wants to be the shot taker.
19:42 Here's what to loudly complain about if you wanna be an idiot: a) charges, b) 3 seconds, c) 5 seconds, d) visiting coaching box dimensions.
19:45 BING frosh Robert Mansell just got smacked hard and took a few minutes to get up. Meanwhile, HT begins. It's 28-12 Canisius. Kick line!
19:47 Binghamton's offense totally sucks, but when your kick line is Title R compliant, you are doing something right. #propz
19:51 RT @mwmiller20: @midmajority e) Over the back. (Not over and back)
19:51 RT @chrispalm: Glad to know at least one school out there is Title R compliant. As far as the AE goes, UNH and BU hanging tough early v RL.
19:53 Let's take a moment to discuss how bad the Bearcats offense is. 5-for-23 from floor, 21.7%. 2-for-12 with #superhoop. No FG's last 5 mins.
19:55 So don't stop, Binghamton... don't stop 'til you get enough.
20:00 Ready for the second half here in the TMMEC. Will the Bearcats crack 20? Will the Screamin' Green tear the roof off the sucka? Stay tuned!
20:03 Greer Wright with a basket for Binghamton at the 18 minute mark, and it's 28-14. We will tweet every Bearcat basket 'til it's no longer fun.
20:03 So... how are you guys out there? Having a good evening? Anybody drunk?
20:06 Anything good on TV?
20:08 Man. I f___ing love Rudolph. RT @Dobber_BtB_SBN: Rudolph is on, despite the fact it's not even December yet.
20:09 CANI 31 BING 16 15:07 2H. A friend asked me at HT if games like this are hard to get through. I'm looking at hair, so no.
20:11 Couple mentions of the Sons of Anarchy finale. That show any good? I like Breaking Bad and Laff-A-Lympics, would I like this?
20:11 RT @Nyghtewynd: @midmajority But Rudolph in November is 100% wrong. Not "the question that must not be asked" wrong, but still wrong.
20:11 RT @jtanHC: @midmajority Princeton's got the #superhoop going and the Hummer warmed and running efficient (bad car/name pun) so it's a nice night.
20:11 RT @SethHunt105: @midmajority The Pilots are hosting St. Louis tonight. It will be a good evening if they shoot as well as they did Sat.
20:13 RT @jenahearn: @midmajority The Stendhal has fallen behind in the voting! Do they know there is a Syndrome, and it's #1bs related? http://bit.ly/32r2gW
20:14 C'mon people, Stendhal! Vote! Or help the Wikipedia page with an expert opinion!
20:17 RT @heidus: @midmajority Grinch is on, too!
20:18 Finished McLean/Nocera “All The Devils Are Here" last week. Fantastic. RT @KraigW: @midmajority Do you have any good book recommendations?”
20:19 [BINGHAMTON BASKET ALERT] Jabbi, 11:00 2H. 40-23 Canisius. (other pts were from FT's)
20:21 Mark Macon so wishes he was watching Rudolph right now. Just led a TO 10 feet from his team, screaming, on the floor showing spacing.
20:23 [BINGHAMTON BASKET ALERT] Wright, layup, 10:23 2H. CANI 40, BING 25
20:25 Big dice! http://img.ly/2xm0
20:28 [BINGHAMTON BASKET ALERT] Lakusa, layup, 7:44 2H. CANI 43 BING 28
20:29 Money machine! http://img.ly/2xm8
20:30 So I'm taking pictures of time out contests, & a pretty redhead accuses me of espionage. Yes, even the SID staff here is Title R compliant.
20:30 There might be some stolen press room food in it for you! RT @roverflash: @midmajority Thur: Kent State game or Cavs-Heat? What should I do?
20:32 RT @juliaflyer: @midmajority The old school claymation Rudolph is also on. And the Victoria Secret Fashion Show. #waitingforGlee
20:34 6 minutes to go, and Canisius is up on BING 43-30. I want to go on record by saying this is one of the most inept teams I've seen in years.
20:37 Snapshot of the situation: Pretty redhead just took the stat phone off the hook during BING FT's so they'd have a better chance of going in.
20:38 [BINGHAMTON BASKET ALERT] Some dude just made a #superhoop sorry I was distracted didn't see who 4:18 2H CANI 48 BING 35
20:39 Always will be a chat. RT @jtanHC: @midmajority Will there be a Friday chat? I'm thinking of some hott Ivy and MEAC Q's to ask.
20:41 RT @Owlified: @midmajority Rooting for Temple great and current Binghamton HC Mark Macon to do the best he can with all that has happened over there. #TU
20:41 We are too, @Owlified. Phillybro solidarity. But he's got nothing to work with here.
20:42 I know. I'm dead. RT @Hirsch_in_Media: @midmajority - Really Kyle??? Geez...
20:43 [BINGHAMTON BASKET ALERT] Wright, layup, 3:24 2H CANI 48 BING 37
20:44 [BINGHAMTON BASKET ALERT] Jabbi, #superhoop, 2:48 2H. CANI 48 BING 39. OK benches are in, no fun anymore. Let's ride this out.
20:50 Bearcats are within eight at 1:20 (let's face it, Canisius isn't great shakes either), and the crowd kinda getting into it. Which is good!
20:51 But this team will break your heart, Binghamton boys and Vestal virgins. It will crush your dreams. Run. RUN.
20:55 T Vasquez-Simmons just delivered an honest-to-gosh #omgblox that nearly drilled the ball into the floorboards. 34 tixx left, 54-45 G'Griffs.
20:57 It's a final. Canisius wins 55-45, and there is no more basketball tonight. Take us out, Screamin' Green.
20:59 BING shoots 30.4% on the night, 3-for-18 from three.
20:59 RT @sgreen3: @midmajority "Hey Baby" & "New York, New York." God, I miss it.
21:06 We will be contacting you on the Hoops Tweeter tomorrow, from Bucknell University, a couple hours from here. Until then, pleasenjoy.
21:06 Good Night Hoops Nation!
21:07 RT @midmajority360: Canisius 55 Binghamton 45 | http://tmm7.me/5fz
21:10 RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: A little late obviously but the Johnson City Best Western is the official Binghamton-area hotel of DD & has kickass breakfast.
21:51 "There's victory in losing: it's the opportunity to get better. That's not a 'moral' victory, it's getting better." - Mark Macon #TMMstyle
